Sobre as ondas: surfe, juventude e cultura no Rio de Janeiro dos anos 1960

In the second half of the twentieth century, the influence of the United States in the world sporting arena is explicit. The spreading of cultural practices showing North American traces, such as surfing, cannot however be considered only as the result of imposition: there are local appropriations that say much about the context of reception. Based on this consideration, this article aims to discuss the aprehention of surfing in Rio de Janeiro in the 1960s. It thus explores how this sport was taken as a marker of identity, based on its links to certain notions of youth and lifestyle.

Recent benthic foraminifera from the Itaipu Lagoon, Rio de Janeiro (southeastern Brazil)

Itaipu Lagoon is located near the mouth of Guanabara Bay and has great importance for recreation to the city of Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Several studies have documented foraminiferan diversity at Guanabara Bay, but none in Itaipu Lagoon. Therefore, this study lists and provides images of foraminiferal species collected from Itaipu Lagoon. A total of 35 species belonging to 23 genera were collected, grouped in 17 families and four orders. Ammonia tepida was the species with the highest occurrence. This study represents a baseline work for future investigations.

Calliphoridae (Diptera) Associated With Rattus rattus Carcasses in the Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Abstract Forensic entomology is a complementary tool for penal procedures, mainly on estimating postmortem interval. Study of cadaveric fauna in various environments is primary as source of information to support this science. This study collected information about the fauna of Calliphoridae associated to carcasses of Rattus rattus in the Tijuca National Park, RJ. Four collections were conducted, one for each season of 2015, exposing six carcasses at georeferenced points in each collection. The carcasses were placed 550 m from the boarder and equidistant by 100 m. Five decomposition stages were identified, and 10,559 individuals of Calliphoridae belonging to 10 species were collected. The most abundant species were Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). L. eximia was the most abundant species during the Swelling and Black Putrefaction stages, succeeded in the next stages by two species of the genera Hemilucilia. H. semidiaphana was the dominant species in the last two stages, followed by Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). The genus Mesembrinella (Diptera: Calliphoridae) occurred mainly during the Black putrefaction stage. Mesembrinella bellardiana (Aldrich) was more abundant, with higher occurrence during the Black putrefaction and Dry decay stages. Mesembrinella peregrina (Aldrich) occurred in the two last stages with low abundance. Huascaromusca aeneiventris (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) occurred during all the observed stages, mainly during the Butyric fermentation stage. Huascaromusca purpurata (Aldrich) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) occurred only during the Dry decay stage and in low abundance. A succession pattern in the carcasses colonization was observed, providing relevant information for the resolution of criminal investigations in this environment.

Biogeografia e conectividade entre a malacofauna da Costa Oeste Sul americana e Antártica.

O gradiente de diversidade associado a latitude e bastante reconhecido, levando muitos pesquisadores a acreditarem no empobrecimento da fauna Antartica. Entretanto, o aumento do esforco amostral, mostrou uma grande diversidade de organismos marinhos na Antartica, com um elevado endemismo para alguns grupos. Este endemismo pode estar associado ao isolamento e as mudancas climaticas ocorridas ao longo do tempo evolutivo. Entretanto, evidencias recentes mostraram a conectividade da fauna antartica e sul americana. Este trabalho utilizou dados provenientes do Malacolog 4.1.1. A area geografica foi a costa atlântica da America do Sul e areas adjacentes da Antartica (Peninsula Antartica, parte do mar de Weddell e o arco de ilhas Scotia). Nossa amostragem levantou 6517 especies de moluscos. A provincia com maior riqueza foi a Plataforma Continental do Norte do Brasil e a menor foi a do mar de Scotia. A taxa de endemismo para as menores latitudes foi cerca de 15%, contrario ao elevado endemismo na provincia do mar de Scotia (40%). A maior riqueza foi encontrada na ecoregiao da Guiana, e a menor na da Peninsula Antartica. A maioria das ecoregioes possui endemismo em torno de 3%, sendo o maior na Georgia do Sul. O gradiente de riqueza foi corroborado. A analise de grupamento para a malacofauna mostrou quarto grupos significantes. A Regra de Rapoport batimetrica mostrou um aumento da amplitude batimetrica nas ecoregioes das maiores latitudes e a Regra de Bergmann mostrou a sua relacao oposta. A elevada riqueza em 25 o S pode estar relacionada aos recifes de corais e algas calcareas. Nas latitudes medianas, observou-se uma elevada riqueza, alem de corresponder a um ecotono entre especies com afinidade termofilas e criofilas. A analise de grupamento validou tres provincias propostas por Spalding, todavia invalidou a provincia da Plataforma Continental do Norte do Brasil. O elevado endemismo observado nas provincias Magelânica e do Mar de Scotia comprovam o isolamento da Antartica, embora a analise de grupamento tenha mostrado uma conexao com a America do Sul. A Regra de Bergmann invertida pode ser explicada pelo curto periodo favoravel ao crescimento que limitaria o tamanho corporal fenotipico nestas regioes.

Foraminíferos e Tecamebas Bentônicos do Estuário do Rio Godineau, Golfo de Paria, Ilha de Trinidad

In the Godineau River Estuary, located in Trinidad Island (off the northeast coast of Venezuela), were found 114 taxa of foraminifera and 17 of thecamoebians in the dead fauna. Most of the identified foraminiferal species were rare because they were transported from the Gulf of Paria to this estuary. The autochthonous foraminiferal assemblage was represented by several tropical estuarine species such as Ammonia tepida, Ammotium salsum, Arenoparrella mexicana, Cribroelphidium excavatum, Ammonia parkinsoniana, Haplophragmoides wilberti, Miliammina fusca and Ammotium cassis. The thecamoebians assemblages, found in the inner part of this estuary, were dominated by Cyclopyxis spp., Centropyxis spp., Difflugia corona and Difflugia urceolata. The relative abundance of the main species of foraminifera and thecamoebians were analyzed through Q-mode and R-mode cluster analyses. Statistical results revealed the presence of three different environments in the Godineau River Estuary related to different hydrodynamic conditions and more or less oceanic or fluvial influence. The first sector represents the most confined region of the estuary and was mainly composed by agglutinated foraminifera together with thecamoebians. The second sector was located in the middle part of the estuary and was associated with the presence of brackish waters. The third sector denotes the outermost part of the estuary characterized by the greatest hydrodynamic activity and highest oceanic influence within the estuary. This sector was marked by the occurrence of a large number typical-marine foraminifera species.In the Godineau River Estuary, located in Trinidad Island (off the northeast coast of Venezuela), were found 114 taxa of foraminifera and 17 of thecamoebians in the dead fauna.

Novos formatos, antigos discursos: representações do surf no cinema brasileiro (1991-2006)

En este articulo se pretende analizar las cinco peliculas brasilenas que estrenaran en el circuito comercial y / o festivales entre 1991 y 2006, donde el surf es el tema central: Maniobra Radical (Elisa Tolomelli, 1991), Surf Adventures - The Movie (Arthur Fontes, 2001), Fabio Fabuloso (Pedro Cezar, Ricardo Bocao y Antonio Ricardo, 2004), Indo.doc (Leondre Campos y Andre Pires, 2006) y Tow In Surfing (Jorge Guimaraes y Cavalcanti Rosaldo, 2006). El objetivo es entender las nuevas representaciones del deporte, despues de una decada de su primera oleada de crecimiento en el pais (en los 1980). Al final se concluye que, inmerso en nuevas redes de comercializacion, el surf es sin duda mas profesional, aunque las producciones traten de mantener, al menos en el discurso, valores tipicos del periodo anterior.

O surfe brasileiro e as mídias sonora e audiovisual nos anos 1980

Esporte midiatico por excelencia, o surfe estabeleceu uma serie de relacoes com a cultura (musica, televisao, cinema), incluindo imbricacoes com a cultura pop. Estas manifestacoes foram fundamentais para a divulgacao da modalidade e a construcao de uma imagem em torno da mesma para o publico externo, assim como a discussao e a configuracao de valores para os membros de sua subcultura. No Brasil, este processo teve notavel forca durante a decada de 1980. O artigo mapeia as imbricacoes entre surfe e midias sonora e audiovisual no periodo, tendo como fonte principal a revista Fluir .
